Manufacture and materials of the Ostheimer Leopard

The wood used comes from sustainably managed forestry, where the conservation of natural resources is a top priority. Each figurine is handcrafted with great dedication and according to clear templates, which gives the high-quality wood its special feel. An organic oil protects the colors and preserves their radiance. The colors are saliva-safe, without animal ingredients and completely harmless to health - perfectly coordinated with the typical Ostheimer design. Transparent colors and glazes emphasize the wood structure and make each piece truly unique.

Warning: Caution! Not suitable for children under 3 years of age, as small parts can be detached or broken off and swallowed.
